The smart (shaman) player will actually make reasoned judgements about his gear, talents, and spells, instead of just blindly fumbling around in the dark hitting every button Blizzard has given him to press.

Dinged 80 on friday, ran a bajillion heroics and went in to Ulduar 10 last night like this (minus sword and ranged weapon - both were blue BoE/rep stuff). Managed 5.7k on XT ^_^ and 3.9k on Ignis. First melee toon and super proud ^_^

beena busy few weeks. As GM i have been frantically filling empty spots in guild hoping we servive the summer and i think now we are through the worst of it. got 2 25man groups together this week something that hasn't happened in some time. TotC 2 bosses down, 10 and 25man. 2 new bosses in Uld hodir and catlady.

nothing new gearwise excpet like everyone i have been grinding badges for T8.5 helm and chest. already had the 4 part bonus so wasn't to bothered. also picked up a T9 token that i cant use >< need badges plus token is annoying.

So i'm very happy with guild progress and feeling good about my rogue in general.

Started by 1 shotting both boss in TotC. Second boss dropped an awesome ring which i managed to snag rolling 99 against a 98.

then off to ulduar deciding with the group we had hardmodes should atleast be attempted. FL 4 towers 1 shot XT heart Breaker 1 shot I choose you Steelbreakers 2 shotted Thorium with sif up 1 shot Finally missing the timer at hodir by 12 seconds ><

Wrists from hardmode XT are now mine, Councils hardmode dagger is also gracing my MH. missed out on thoriums trinket but i think we'll do his hardmode everytime now considering how easy it turned out to be.

This has been the best week of raiding i've had sinse wrath was released.

actually.. it's reply 1337, and post 1338 (no i had nothing better to do ;) )

We tried that on wipe numero tres, last of the night. We are going to put 3 of our best single target dpsers (2 rogues and a DK) on him for the first 2 phases and see if that puts him down a little faster.

I did 6.9K dps on Mim two nights ago. Muti build. Came in second on DPS/Damage chart. Learning how to use the spec, first time in almost two years I have actually used it. I have been mainly Combat the past five years in the game. Hopefully I will get much higher DPS as I get my four piece T8 set, only have 3 right now. For the HORDE!
